Malaysia Budget 2016 live updates (auto/transport)

Adjustments to Malaysian Budget 2016 (Bajet 2016) are being announced by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak right now. We will be posting live updates on any automotive-related announcements from his speech here, if there are any.

Auto

The free duty treatment on imported vehicles in duty-free islands will be tightened, but will not affect locals residing there.

Transport

Physical projects, include construction of roads and public transport will be prioritised.

Preferring to drive cars rather than desks, Hafriz Shah ditched his suit and tie to join the ranks of Malaysia’s motoring hacks. A car’s technical brilliance is completely lost on him, appreciating character-making quirks more. When not writing this ego trip of a bio, he’s usually off driving about aimlessly, preferably in a car with the right combination of three foot pedals and six gears.

Hello Najib, why our petrol prices so high at RM1.85? According to global prices, our oil prices should be about 90 sen per litre. We are giving the Government free money. Each time I fill up 50 litres for my tank, I am giving RM40 free money to the Government.

Calculate that with about 10 million road users, Government makes RM Billions Per Day untung.

You hantam Malaysians with petrol prices, car prices also you hantam Malaysians. Why are we paying so much for petrol when we ourselves are an oil producer?

You ask us to tighten our belts and eat kangkung and your RM1 chicken but you spend RM500 million on a brand new jet despite having 4 other jets in your hangar.
